An offering made in reliance on the crowdfunding exemption in RCW 21.20.880 shall not commence until the director has declared the offering exempt. Neither the fact that an offering has been declared exempt under RCW 21.20.880 nor the fact that a Washington Crowdfunding Form has been filed constitutes a finding by the director that any document filed under these rules is true, complete, and not misleading. Neither any such fact nor the fact that a crowdfunding exemption is available means that the director has passed in any way upon the merits of or qualifications of, or recommended or given approval to, any person, security, or transaction. It is unlawful to make, or cause to be made, to any prospective purchaser, customer, or client any representation inconsistent with this section.
